Vedclass · Answer

(C) parasite is an organism that lives on or inside another organism (the host) and derives nutrients at the expense of the host. $A$. Female Anopheles is a vector, not a parasite, as it only takes a blood meal for egg production. $B$. The human fetus is not a parasite because it is the offspring of the host (mother) and is part of the reproductive process. $C$. The head louse $(Pediculus humanus capitis)$ is an ectoparasite that lives on the human scalp, feeds on blood, and relies entirely on the host for survival, fitting the definition of a parasite. $D$. Cuckoo laying eggs in a crow's nest is an example of brood parasitism, but the cuckoo itself is not a parasite in the biological sense of living on the host's body.
